But almost as many seemed baffled as to why all the other apparently male passengers on the bus seemed to completely ignore the young woman in the little black dress as she gyrated around the pole.

The video was shot by another passenger travelling on the bus in the city of Zhanjiang in south China’s Guangdong Province.

Several commuters were surprised to see a woman dancing around the yellow safety pole on the bus, ignoring all other passengers.

Lei Wang who uploaded the video said: "I guess she might have had an iPod or something on her but if she did I don't know where she was hiding it. To all intents and purposes it looks as if she was just dancing to some invisible music.

Pretty good moves I thought, so I uploaded it online to share it with everyone else."

He said he had no idea the video would end up going viral and that he had no idea who she was.

He said: "I did toy with the idea of asking if she came here often, but when we pulled in to the next stop she got off the bus so quickly I didn't get a chance to pluck up my courage."
